Me too! but I'm pretty much resigned to a Tokiya x Haruka end. In S1 I felt so sorry for Otoya, he was getting pushed so much only to get dismissed as a potential love interest... Oh well, I just hope he won't have less screentime in 2000% what with Cecil around. (And that whatever the main conflict will be, I hope it's not going to be as boring as the Tokiya storyline in S1.)

But I like him best with Tokiya, not that it's never going to happen... XD;; So I go for the next best thing: Otoya x Haruka x Tokiya OK, that's not gonna happen either, so him with Haruka, yeah.

-The first half of the episode seems like recap of the characters.
-I thought Cecil was a cat that turned into a prince who was a figment of Haruka's mind? Though i read that it was some curse. It's been nearly 2 years since I watched the first season.
-Can is ay how awesome Miyano Mimoru's OP song is. It does give the show a much more intense feel than it actually is.
-The show is so corny at times you can't help but enjoy and laugh at it.
-Cecil's back talk to everyone makes me like him more haha.
-How can you not love Syo? His black nails make him.
-These episodes seem to go by really fast for some reason.

2. oookay, so
2a. Cecil has been molesting Haruka in her dreams for who knows how long?
2b. If not for Cecil deciding to play Aladdin with her, Haruka would've just chosen Tokiya? (there, Tokiya! there's the culprit!)
So er, how is Haruka supposed to be special again?

3. lol, the guys being jealous and Cecil not giving a damn XDDD Btw Cecil "recapping" the Starish boys - he could've learned this much simply by reading some interviews or something. XD;;

4. Shining & Camus are officially awesome.

5. okay, Cecil you're cute and you have a nice voice, but you're kind of annoyingly perfect (lack of nihongo skills notwithstanding).

So Haruka has to do a new song.
That should be interesting since Cecil gave her an inspiration.
Seems like I'm watching this just because of the characters.
The story has just begun, but I not so sure it will reach the level of 1st season.
Others were not too happy about Cecil's arrival though..
That guy has some interesting skills and no shame at all.
Camus is a completely different story and that icy behavior really suits him.

Everytime I see Cecil I can't help but think of Saliyaa from Garnet Cradle (doesn't help that Elements Garden also did the OST for it). But he was pretty awesome during the episode although the other Starish are the guardians of Haruka's chastity so he's going to have it difficult.

I wonder how Haruka's character will be like this season ^_^
I really like her and find her relatable, but a bit flat at times. She has more personality than others, like the heroine from Amnesia, but still I'd like to see more from her, and maybe talk back slightly. That'd be funny and shocking.

Sometimes I think one reason they would rather not create a strong personality for heroines of these types of games/shows is kinda like how teddy bears don't have expressions. Projection of their own self emotions onto the character.

Certainly the best of the season so far, though we're only 3 episodes in. Can't believe we got a Syo themed episode so soon.

-This show wins for best OP of the season, and one of the best OSTs of the season as well. I loved that more celtic-inspired theme on the set of the movie.

-My SyoxHaruka chipping levels are through the roof after this! They still lack some chemistry though.

-I thought it was weird that Haruka didn't speak for like half the episodes.

-lol Haruka is so clumsy. That platform was so wide, so I don't know how she fell off. Also don't really know how she ended up there in the first place. Did she just climb the stairs all the way to find him?

-Wouldn't the set normally be closed that late at night? I guess i shouldn't look too much into it, considering Cecil was a prince who turned into a cat haha.

-Syo giving Haruka his hat in the end was super cute.

I also liked the relationship between Syo and Hyuga explored in the episode. It kinda relates to all of us in a way. When we put someone on a high pedestal, it's only going to hurt us more when they finally fall from grace. Though that didn't really happen in here, Syo is finding out more about Hyuga, and a harsh reality that they are in a way rivals now that Syo is an actor.

-I'm kind of bummed that the rest of the group barely appeared, though. :/ Are all chara focus eps going to be like this?

-who wants to bet that Shou's jump, or rather his landing, will become a meme? There was some beautiful animation there... (it was so quality, it had to be on purpose XD)

As for the OP, it's growing on me but I liked S1's OP better, both the song and the visuals. (I thought it was a pretty well made OP.) This one is all right, but I don't know, to me it feels like Miyano's voice isn't strong enough for this song. (Could be just the mixing, but it was the same with S1 OP, except there they wisely arranged the instrumentals not to drown out his voice.)

By the way, I just noticed that Haruka's boobs light up and sparkle when Otoya grabs her arm. XD;;

I loved that outfit Syo had on. It makes me happy that everyone changes outfits in the show, makes it a bit more realistic.

This was the first episode where I truly recall Syo and Haruka having a "moment". I bet it'll happen with the others too. Too bad he'll never end up with her because he has Natsuki

Oh and the music I was talking about that I loved was around the 8:25 mark and when Syo was trying to jump. I love that one.

Btw I read a question on Crunchyroll that was intriguing,

Anyone know the answer? Was it in the game? Either way it sets up the focus for the season.

Syo's cheerfulness always brings a smile to my face.
His fired up side is fun to watch as well.
The Uta Pri award thing sounds interesting.
Watching Syo on the set was just ROFL
At least Nanami gave him the push he needed.
This episode was all about Syo ^-^

As for BGMs, at least two of the BGMs during the character intro scenes in ep 1 were based on the character's insert song in S1. (Otoya and Shou definitely, perhaps Masato, too... but not Natsuki or Tokiya, at least as far as I'm aware. I don't remember Ren's song. )
